They're pretty quiet, you might want to go with the mini arcos if this is a rather small dog. Otherwise it's very easy to clip with.

We have found it can be noisy. It's on carpet so we move it slightly to rebalance and reduce the noise. Some times we even tap it on the side to giggle it a little.

I have a cat and a dog and I cam tell you... the sound of the machine is very loud... so loud that my cat ran like crazy the moment I star the vacuum... so if your cat or dog is nervous or noise sensitive I dont recomend it :( sorry... but it is very loud

Yes it is. Too easy. If the dog pulls hard it will disconnect. That's why I returned it. A trainer warned me, but I disregarded the warning.

My friend has a poodle and it did an excellent job on his dog. But be ware this clipper cuts very very short if you don't want it cut so short maybe buy another clipper as well.

My dogs are the same way. I don't think this item is very loud - it was recommended to me by the breeder who uses it on all her dogs. When you do it, though, don't exceed 3 seconds for each nail. Also, you want to follow the nail, not go against it because that will push the nail into their paws and that can hurt. By the way - another wonderful use for the Dremel is a pedicure - it grinds away the callouses on your feet just beautifully!

It does make noise, especially the motor. You can keep the motor away a little, but the hose still makes pretty good noise. I don't know of a single product that wouldn't that has any power. To dry a large malamute, you need the power. Sorry. My puppy's don't like it, but I've been getting them used to it. They scramble at first, but settle down pretty quickly when they learn it really doesn't hurt them.

If your dog likes it, it would be great, seeing as its not noisey or large. Good luck! My dog was scared of my old, bigger treadmill.

Hello Jileda Thomas. I've bought a few over the years and I always go to this brand. It's not loud at all. The only thing I can think of is, it having a steady hum. I think it's soothing for them after a while (depending on how big or small your puppy is) my puppy actually falls asleep while trimming his fur.

I would not call it quiet, but its not intolerable. I do not know about the motor.

I haven't noticed the motor being loud at all. We use it in our church nursery, but we have been very happy with it.

The motor is very quiet, don't hear it at all but it does have a strong waterfall sound. Sounds like you are in a spa, so if you find the water noise soothing you should be good. If you are looking for very quiet then this one might be too loud for you.

The sound is loud. It depends on how close to the bedrooms you place it as to whether it would wake the family. We have used ours on a storage/sitting bench in front of our kitchen window. Our sheltie would jump up ,look out the window and bark at everything that she saw. We tried several ways to stop her. It only took about 3 days for her to avoid the bench completely. I have had it turned off for about 2 months and she never has jumped up again. This product was a really wonderful solution for us.

No it's VERY quiet. Not extremely powerful but will do nicely on small dogs. (4 Dobermans and 1 English Mastiff here!)

The motor is not quiet by any means. It's not too bad when idling but when you run the dough through to compress it, it is the loudest sound in the world. My neighbor runs a gear mfg company and said the motor would be quieter if larger.

Its pretty loud. I use ot on dogs though, and they tolerate it fine. Also, it gets the job done so quickly it shouldnt be an issue. I would think that unless your neighbors are REALLY sensitive or right on top of you it shouldnt be an issue. It's no louder than say and electric leaf blower.

I bought it for a pomeranian and a miniature poodle. It is a little big and bulky for the pom. Not so bad for the poodle. The vibration didnt affect the small dog at all. I did not use the electric shock. My son held it against his hand and said it was just a tingle.
